Our Team
Todd Allen
Founder & CEO
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."
- Dr. Nido R. Qubein
In 2010, Todd found himself in the midst of the Great Recession. As a successful 20-year real estate owner, developer, and manager, the severity of the Great Recession required his most challenging entrepreneurial pivot: winding down his real estate business and embracing his newfound circumstances as a starting point for what was to come next.
Todd spent the next 9 years expanding his experience leading software as a service (SaaS) and IT teams within the real estate vertical.
During this time, he discovered a passion for blending his love of real estate and technology with his nearly 30 years of servant leadership & team development to create Connect.
